Default Would Anyone Like To Hear "The Distance" Played Live Again?
I just love this song, and i hope that they'll play at Twickenham. But i really don't think they will. It had such a catchy lyric to it... and it's a good 25th Anniversary song for Bon Jovi... "I'll Go The Distance" and Bon Jovi have gone The Distance.

Does anyone like this song?

I like it.
Wouldn't be gutted to hear it live and wouldn't be made up!

I think its safe to say thats song has been retired for the time being, plenty of other songs are higher up in the bands pecking order i'm afraid.

One of their best post-2000 songs though, along with Novacaine, IML, HAND, LMS, Just Older and LH.

Easily the best song on Bounce. Would be happy for them to have that as the only song they play from that album.

Couldn't care less if the band totally forgot the song existed.

I'd like to see it live, along with "Love me back to life", it's one of the two pillars of goodness holding up the otherwise lackluster Bounce album.

Was quite boring at the 2003 shows, thought it went way too long!
